“Healthy aging” editorial illustration

Illustration I made during the Editorial Illustrator’s Playbook course at Inkygoodness Collective, inspired by a New Scientist article on the effects of relationships and mindset on healthy aging.

Rather than pursue a conceptual or abstract interpretation, I settled on bringing to life something my childhood friends and I often joke about: ending up at a retirement home together where we play board games with each other all day. Until then, we meet every summer at a family cottage near Montreal, roll dice together, eat cookies and burgers, and sit by the bonfire.
